After reading the articles about social media auditing, I decided to take their advice and google myself. Besides finding many pictures of an actress with the same name, I didn\u2019t come across any of my social media accounts or pictures of me when I googled my name. Pictures of me or links to my accounts are probably less accessible since I\u2019ve never had a Facebook account and my last name is often assumed to be a misspelling of the word \u201cfairly\u201d. During my application process for college and jobs, I put both my Twitter and Instagram profiles on private in order to make sure that my accounts did not hurt my chances. Even though I don\u2019t post anything bad on social media, I wanted to take these extra precautions.<\/p>\n
After this application process, I took my social media off of private, since I don\u2019t really mind who else (besides colleges or companies) sees what I post on the internet. If someone was to look at my account, I would come across as a friendly person (at least I hope). I mainly only post pictures of me and my good friends on Instagram, since I value pictures with meaningful people in them. I use Instagram to look back on memories, and pictures with others always hold more meaning to me than a picture of a flower or a mountain. I don\u2019t try to put too much thought into what I post, or try to have a certain \u201caesthetic\u201d to my account, because I feel as if this takes away from this memorable aspect of Instagram.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
